Mavuika's Abilities

Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with unique Archon abilities, including combat biking! Here's a breakdown:

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a charged attack (stamina cost), and a plunging attack (AoE damage).

At 50%+ Fighting Spirit (gained via party member Nightsoul point use or Normal Attacks), she unleashes a powerful Sunfell Slice (AoE Pyro DMG), entering "Crucible of Death and Life" (increased interruption resistance, enhanced Flamestrider attacks).
